{case study} City of Edmonton

When the City of Edmonton was looking for a special summer giveaway, they wanted something that would be different from the rest and could actually benefit the environment.

Objectives:

• A giveaway that would promote their eco-friendly conference and hosting services
• A product that would include lots of room for branding
• A way to give a gift that grows

Strategy & Execution:

Working with their promotional product distributor, they paired a reusable water bottle with a seed paper wrap from Botanical PaperWorks. The seed paper wrap was printed double-sided so they had plenty of room to communicate all the green planning options available to the hospitality industry.

Results:

The result was an extremely effective and memorable giveaway that left nothing to waste. The water bottle could be used over and over, and the seed paper wrap was planted to grow flowers. They grew beautiful wildflowers AND helped enhance the natural habitat of native birds and butterflies.
